Yes, at least you can return NULL for other OSes to indicate that cwd is not available, so we can use fallback value g_get_current_dir(). For me, copying the Solaris code from gnome-terminal without testing is acceptable since this function is trivial. Code review should be enough. Otherwise, if any Solaris user encounters problems, we'll get bug report.
Fred, as original author of lxterminal, do you have any comment on this?
